Paul Polgar recovers the racially inclusive vision of America's first abolition movement. In showcasing the activities of the Pennsylvania Abolition Society, the New York Manumission Society and their African American allies during the post-Revolutionary and early national eras, he unearths this coalition's comprehensive agenda for black freedom and equality.
The making of a movement : progress, problems, and the ambiguous origins of the abolitionist project -- The "just right of freedom" : enforcing and expanding gradual emancipation -- Republicans of color : societal environmentalism and the quest for black citizenship -- "A well grounded hope" : sweeping away the cobwebs of prejudice -- "Unconquerable prejudice" and "alien enemies" : the roots and rise of the American Colonization Society -- A prudent alternative or a dangerous diversion? First movement abolitionists respond to colonization.
